The reference to pie is fleeting, yet still worth it. (And the video is only a minute and a half long).
Kitten 1: I want pie!

Jenna (opening the mail of Liz's neighbor to see if he's dateable): He's a pediatrician, so you know he likes kids ... or feet? ... no kids. He has a bill from a divroce lawyer, so you know he's single. And he as a golf magazine, so you know he's not gay or poor.
Liz: Jenna! Come on.
Jenna: Now let's see what kinds of movies he likes ... (opening the neighbor's Netflix envelopes) Muppets Take Manhattan.
Liz (slightly approving): Hmm.
Jenna: Caddyshack.
Liz: (more approving): Hmm.
Jenna: And a documentary about how pies are made.
Liz: Hello, Dr. Baird!

Nate: We're going with a much bigger scam. One of the classics.
Parker: The London Spank?
Hardison: The Genevan Paso Doble?
Elliot: The Apple Pie?
(Everyone looks at him questioningly)
Elliot: It's like the Cherry Pie - but with lifeguards.
Sophie (appreciatively): Ooh.

Booth: A big piece of the pie. That's good luck.
Brennan: I call that a solipsistic perceptual response to the random nature of the universe.

When home ec class goes wrong ...
Here, we see a young girl trying out the pie they created in class.
The Life Photo Archive is a searchable database of Life magazine's photo collection. Over at Cake Wrecks they had some awesome cake-themed historical photos. I wanted to share some of the pie fun with you.

January 1, 2009 - Happy New Year
Well, it's been a year of daily pie (except for that break during Hurricane Ike). Pie of the Day will continue to exist, but it will be on intermittent status from now on.
Before leaving, however, here's a snippet from one of the best pie-themed shows, Pushing Daisies, which will soon be no longer. Combining pie, knitting, mysteries, and featuring a good ol' Klein, Texas boy in the lead role, Pushing Daisies deserved to last a little longer.
So, here's Kristin Chenoweth singing Eternal Flame while wearing a pie hat:

Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey
When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it’s not, ummm boy.

Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Gonna make a pie
With a heart in the middle
Baby don’t be blue
Gonna make for you
Gonna make a pie
With a heart in the middle
Gonna be a pie from Heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love …

Swan among the Indians: life of James G. Swan, 1818-1900; based upon Swan's hitherto unpublished diaries and journals, by Lucile Saunders McDonald
On December 25, 1861, three "Boston men" sat down to Christmas dinner in the trading post established four years earlier at the edge of the Makah Indian reservation, Washington Territory, USA.
The traditional holiday was a welcome break from the unloading and distribution of a shipment of goods promised to the Makah by the treaty they had signed in 1855. James Swan, a periodic resident in Neah Bay, had, in the absence of the trader, prepared a feast of roast goose and duck stew, presenting for dessert a mince pie made from whale meat. The Indians, he wrote later, had brought him a fresh piece of whale meat months earlier that looked every bit as good as red beef. He had boiled it and cut it finely, adding chopped apples and wild cranberries, raisins, currants, salt, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and brown sugar. After packing it into a ten-gallon stone jar, he had added a quart of New England rum and sealed it for future use.
Would the traditional mince pie, he worried, be welcomed if the diners learned it was made from whale? Yankee mincemeat was made from domestic animals or venison. His fears were soon dispelled. The small portions he had cautiously served were quickly downed and second helpings demanded by all.

Home for the Holidays
I met a man who lives in Tennessee
He was headin' for Pennsylvania
and some home made pumpkin pie.
From Pennsylvania, folks are travelin' down
To Dixie's sunny shore.
From Atlantic to Pacific,
Gee, the traffic is terrific.

December 21 - Winter Solstice Pie!
Enjoy! Merry Christmas and best wishes of the season from everyone here at Pie of the Day!
The Christians and the Pagans, by Dar Williams
The food was great, the tree plugged in,
the meal had gone without a hitch
Till Timmy turned to Amber and said,
"Is it true that you're a witch?"
His mom jumped up and said,
"The pies are burning," and she hit the kitchen
And it was Jane who spoke,
she said, "It's true, your cousin's not a Christian
But we love trees, we love the snow,
the friends we have, the world we share
And you find magic from your God,
and we find magic everywhere"
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able
And where does magic come from? I think magic's in the learning
Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning
